// L-19 by Hans Hartung, a lithograph from 1974, embodies the artist's masterful approach to abstract expressionism through gestural mark-making. This piece presents dynamic, overlapping black brushstrokes across a neutral background, creating a composition that feels both rhythmic and intense. Hartung’s use of bold, sweeping lines suggests movement and energy, reflecting his interest in the spontaneity and immediacy of the creative process. The contrasts in opacity within the strokes add depth, allowing certain areas to appear layered while others remain sheer. L-19 encapsulates Hartung’s exploration of abstraction through raw, expressive gestures, a hallmark of his work during this period.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
